no! No! NO!
Nobody loves me
And if they did
They'd be making a terrible error

Nobody wants me
And if they did
They'd better be ready to want me forever

And who would believe
They could be so deceived
And what would I do if they loved me?

no! No! NO!
Nobody needs me
What if they did?
But how can you pillage Potemkin village?

Nobody knows me
Reason forbid!
And who would want part of this obvious artifice?

And who would believe
Something so ill-conceived
And what would I do if they loved me?

How can I respect one who accepts me as I am
Since I've been shown my self-loathing
Wasn't exhaustive enough?
Now all the love in the world
Tremble before
All the hate I've built up
So, anyone?
But no! No! NO!

Nobody loves me
And if they did
They'd be making a terrible error

And who would believe
I could be so aggrieved
But look what you did
When you loved meYou loved me
You loved me
Love me
